a plaintiff's dream

a plaintiff's dream

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


a plaintiff's dream

 

 

 

i want to court you

sue for back sentiment

 

 

my lawyer thinks he can get me

a forever's worth

 

 

you are trying to play the system

but i just want us to have a life sentence

 

without chance of parole---

and more time added for impassioned behavior.

Good Luck!--once these matters go to court (especially, Family Court, which is no court, at all) most marriages have almost no chance of surviving. The "court" has a vested interest in pitting one spouse against the other. How else can these ambitious bureaucrats justify their miserable existence--and continue to reap financial benefits for themselves and their suck-a*s cronies--but by assuming control over every family member?
Apologize for the mini-rant, Jacob.
Your poem is lovely, clever and perceptive.
